Hi, thanks for scanning me!
This is the largest spray painted QR code on Earth. It's physically located in Hasselt (Belgium) but its soul is on the internet.
It's so big that it has been seen
times by people from all over the world.
Non-location
"When it comes to the artistic practice, it became more relevant to think about times than location. "
Ubiquity has become an ambiguous term in modern times. The immediate access to information that technology offers allows us to contemplate a practically unlimited collection of images and grants instant access to vast knowledge, whilst modern aviation shortens distances for us; the physical location of an artwork has now a different meaning.
This giant QR code speaks about universality and present times.

About Hasselt

Street Art festival is a well known organization in Belgium that organizes graffiti and street art events. For more than 20 years they are turning huge walls into artworks.
Alley Gallery is an art gallery with a focus on graphic design, illustration and street art by both national and international artists. But Alley’s world does not end on the gallery’s doorstep. They have also proved their worth as producers of different art projects on location.
